Estimated Steer is an estimated readout of the steer axle weight without using a
sensor on the steer axle. The way this works is the user inputs calibration data for
the steer axle both empty and loaded. The scale associates the entered weights to
the pressure measured from the drive axle air suspension at the time of calibration.
Based on the data you input and the measurement from the drive axle group, the
scale can calculate your steer axle weight. This feature is the best option for
tractors with a fixed fifth wheel and is often more accurate than measuring the
weight change with an air or strain sensor. Estimated Steer will not reliably work
for straight trucks, car haulers, or anyone who slides their fifth wheel regularly.
Re-calibration is required after changing the position of a sliding fifth wheel.
